Mr. Bell on African Slavery. Wo continue to day tho publication of Mr. Bell’s record which ho announ ces as his sontimonts at this day, ahd which, unliko most politicians, ho has not renounced or -contradicted. It. may bo considered as tho policy which will control him in tho administration of the Government, should tho peoplo elevate him'to tlio position to which his consistency, his ability and Ills tldelity to tho Constitution on.titlo him. In tho portion which wo give our readers to day, there is a masterly and unanswera ble argument in the defence of slavery. Ho does not urge tho cowards plea of necessity; ha doos not attempt to shift the responsibility from tlio present gon- ation, and ohargo our ancestors, now sleeping in their poacoful graves, with fastening this evil upon us; lie does nob whin© about tlio immonso loss of pro perty which would necossarily follow tho emancipation" of our slaves.

It is, thoroforo, natural thnt I should rnako a brief ro- ply to the necusatory charges of my northern countrymen. ^ ' For tho purposes of my argument, the origin and progress of slavery in tho Unitod States may bo briefly told.— Without pretoudlng to accuracy of de tail it may bo statod with sufficient con formity to historical fact that somo cen tury-and a half ago, or- a little more, a few thousand natives of Afrioa, in form and mind slampod only with tho coftrs- ost rudiments of tho Caucasian raco ; scarcoly bearing tlio impress of tho hu man fripo divine ; savngo in their habits both of war nnd of neuco; ferocious ,as tho > wild, beasts tt thoir own native haunts, wero caught up.nnd transported to these shores, reduced to n state , of homlago, ami they and thoir descen dants hold in slavery until, this uay.— Wliat do we now. behold ?

Tho history of the Hebrew bondage prosonts no parullcl—nothing at republican empire—ablo not only to'maintain its. rlghtB of sov.orciguty and independence, by land find son, against n hostile world; but at thp sumo tlmo, by its example, slinking to tlioir foundations tho dospotio' powers of eartli; n groat incorporation of free dom, dispensing its blessings to all mankind.'

I have seen, upon tho overthrow of Roman civ ilization by tho savugo hordes of IhQ north, that those new masters of wpa- torn Europe and tlioirsuocessors, adopt ed and continued to uphold the same institution, undor various modifications, adapted to tho changing condition, of both slavo and mnstor, uud still under an advancing civilization, until p com paratively roebnt poriod.

I at tins clay among our northern‘brethren; and I have yet in reserve that great fact to whicli 1 of tlio have already alluded—three millions of tho African race, whoso labor is subject to tho will of masters, under such cir cumstances that their condition cannot be changed, though their masters should tv.ll if. wit It flr'atriK'timi iililrit t<« tin. will it, with destruction alike to the interests and welfaro of botli master rncl slave. - Theso aro tho lights by which I road and interpret tho li nature. ; Now, sir, permit mo to say a fow thoir length and breadth, in tho prac tical operations of government,, with success, soriio law-givers imvo been led- to deny thnt thoy aro founded in reas on ; and when thoy havo, at nny time, been suddenly embraced by tho con trolling minds among tho peoplo, tho misfortuno has boon thnt thoy woro ap* plied in excoss, and without due regard to tho actual condition of tho people' who wor© to bo affected; nnd liciico they have, so far, failed' of success in somo of the most highly civilized .na tions of Europe, , . But it is more to the point to refer to tlio emancipation of the slaves of St. Domingo; one of tho first oxploSivo ef fects of tho.suddon recognition of the rights of man by tho Frooh people. It would be difficult to demonstrate, at this day, that tho enuso of humanity, or of human progress, lias boon in.tho slight est degree promoted by thoubolitlou of slavery in that fertile and beautiful is land. It is, I beliovo, now pretty well understood, that’British statesmen coni: mitted an error in tho i>olicy of West India emancipation, forced upon*them by fanatical reformers. Thoy woro driv en tb adopt a sontimont, instead of a practical truth, as tho foundation ..of a radical,chango in tho social condition of a peoplo, who woro not prepared Nei ther to appreciate or profit by it. Even tho reformation ih religion and church government, commenced some throe centuries ago, In tho opinion of iriany of tho most profound inquirers, has failed of that complete success which ought to have attended it, for- tho ren- sou that tho gonoral truths and princi ples upon which it was founded wore applied in excels. Tlio zealous cham pions dr reform; in throwing aside all ceremonies und observances whicli af fect the senses, and.in spiritualizing too much, there is reasqri to believe, have stayed tho progress .of substantial' re form, and.checked tho spread of reli gious restraints upon the evil passions of men. But this is a delicate suhjoct, and I must forbear. These examples may show that there arc certain abstract truths and prinoi- - e pies which, however incontrovertible in and States, and to relieve Congress for the future from the mdst dangerous and distracting suldootof controversy which ever lias, or over can disturb its deliber ations ; that tho source of those sec- tional conflicts and agitations upon thb subject of slavery, whioh havo more than once threatened the pence of tho country, will bo removed; that justioo will ho dono to tho South; that tho Constitution will bo restored and vindi cated ; nnd a new guarantoo provided for tho stability of tho Union. I need not say that [f one huff the many beneficent results predicted of this measure can be shown to follow as a probable consequence of its adoption, I would no longor licsitato to give it my support; but unfortunate ly tlio argument has proceeded no fur ther than tho affirmation, without follow^ h ° W tU08e S: U musfc or wiU 1 WISDOM or THE REVEAL DOUBTED. “Sir, I beliovo there is a bettor fool ing prevailing at tlio North towards tho South than formerly; but would it not bo wiso on tho part of the .South to do nothing to rovorae tho current of that bettor fooling, unless urged by somo great necessity in vindication of its rights?” WIIAT HAS TIIK SOUTH TO GAIN 1IY IT? “Wliat lms tho South to gain by tho measure? * * * Will slavery bo established in tho - Kansas Territory proposed to be organized under its pro visions?

We could seo no peuoo, no quiet, no end of agitation that was to result from such a"courso.
